Fallout 4 starts before the bombs drop

Bethesda shared details about Fallout 4 at its E3 keynote. One of the biggest surprises perhaps is that the game begins in the world that existed before the bombs drop. The events in this game take place 200 years before the player emerges as the sole survivor of Vault 11. Fallout 4 is set in Boston and uses an updated engine that delivers incredible visuals.

The game will begin in the world that existed before bombs destroyed the world. "A beautiful Saturday morning, with the threat of war looming," said Todd Howard, the game's director.

Fallout 4 is scheduled to arrive on November 10, 2015 for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
